}
return $fields;
}

add_filter('woocommerce_enable_order_notes_field', '__return_false', 9999);

function remove_order_notes($fields) {
unset($fields['order']['order_comments']);
return $fields;
}Note: This code snippet only works for Virtual & Downloadable Products and You need to use the Classic WooCommerce Checkout using short code [woocommerce_checkout]
Imagine you’re buying things online, and sometimes you buy things that you don’t physically receive, like software or e-books. This code checks if you’re buying these kinds of things. If you are, it makes some changes to the checkout page to make it simpler.
For instance, it removes some fields that you might not need to fill out when buying virtual or downloadable stuff, like your company name, extra address lines, city, zip code, country, state, and phone number. It also gets rid of the box where you can leave special notes about your order.
Lastly, it removes the title of a section where you might leave extra notes about your order and gets rid of the actual box where you can write those notes.
Overall, this code makes the checkout process simpler and faster when you’re buying things online that you don’t physically receive.
